This will be helpful to you, it just happened yesterday, and happens pretty frequently. Why don't you hear about it, such that you think it never happens? Good question. The subtle answer is don't allow your thinking to manipulated by the media. Open you mind and your news sources, there is a real world out there that some people don't want you to see because it does not support their agendas. https://www.wrdw.com/content/news/Customer-shoots-and-kills-armed-robber-in-Atlanta-dollar-store-505034341.html
You are misinformed. And it would have been very easy for you to inform yourself before posting, if you would have cared to do a couple of Google searches. Yes, people posting ignorantly because they don't care enough to do basic research will rock a few boats.
There have been many incidents reported where 'good guys with guns' prevent bad things from happening. And there are many more that are not reported, for various reasons, some of which should be obvious.
The number of 'gun deaths' in 2017 was practically equal to the number of automobile fatalities (each very close to 40,000). A very quick dive into the date reveals that well over 1/2 of the gun deaths were suicides. Very few of the automobile deaths were.
Given that much of the rest of the world seems dispositioned to encouraging those who want to commit suicide to actually perform the act (primarily northern European countries), I would think that there would be no real criticism from those of that persuasion concerning the U.s.'s use of guns.

Thank you. And yes, you may have the last word.

Question #1- Why did this woman report that she carried a gun through security?
Question #2- TSA says the security lapse was not related to staffing issues from the shutdown. Which means that it was simply a matter of the lapses that their "highly-trained" personnel are capable of every day.
This is supposed to be good news?
What seems to have been overlooked since TSA came into existence is yes, the government took over the administration and supervision of the security personnel, however, they are still hiring the same minimum wage folks who were doing the job before 9/11.

Maybe this is far to obvious for smart folks....Exactly how many guns were used on 9/11? I forget.
